Back to Knitting
May 30, 2010
A year has flown. And it has been ages since I last knitted, and it was only doing some Barbie clothes for my daughter.
It was only few days ago when the weather was slightly cold and wet that I started to think about knitting, again. I found a beanie I knitted for Hannah few years ago and it still looked pretty cute. Then I thought, “I want one of these.”
I still keep all my wools I’ve bought over the years we were living in Britain and Bahrain. (The latter sounds a bit weird, doesn’t it? Hot country and wool don’t seem to mix very well.) I’ve always thought they would come in handy! I do collect some easy patterns too, just in case I feel the urge to sit down and unwind with those wools.. I must say though, knitting isn’t really a therapeutic activity, like some people suggest. I do get frustrated when stuck and even feel depressed for not understanding the patterns. (I am a beginner!) So it hasn’t really helped me through my rough days. But, the good thing about knitting is, well, at least to me, how addictive it can be once you get the hang of it. Not to mention the pride you come up with when you finish and produce a nice creation. I still remember the feeling! My projects that have successfully completed are few (baby) jumpers, which I still keep for memory’s sake, a pair of baby slippers (lost them somewhere), scarves (no idea where they are) and of course Barbie’s outfits.. (excellent project to finish up my left over wools)
And so, now I am brushing up my knitting skill again, with a simple project in hand: a beanie hat!
I’ll upload the photo when it’s done. (Only if it’s any good! 
)
Back to knitting now..
